Yes, if booking flights you use DEN. Locals always refer to it as DIA.

I’m convinced DIA is the worst US Airport

LAX

Terminal 3 Delta ain’t bad at all!

I don’t get the LAX hate. It’s not great, but JFK, OHare, and DIA are worse in my experience. I’d even put Newark as

Have you ever tried getting out of LAX? It’s a joke. But there’s probably more

Chefcurry

Of course, both from people picking me up, hotel shuttles, and riding the rental shuttle. It’s still not bad considering

Agreed

LAX is not that bad I hate ORD

LAX is probably worse. But that’s it.

It is for sure one of the worst. Poorly designed and terrible to travel through

it's not bad when you're just connecting through there, the new expansion is

Yep good connecting airport, but awful to fly in/out of

Yes, with the air rolling over the mountains landings are always turbulent.

SLC airport gives everybody the opportunity to experience Trek

6/5/23 4:02pm

Just a little bit of an exaggeration. Even from the farthest B gate, it’s a mile walk to passenger pickup.

specsauce

I was at the farthest gate and the zig zag speedwalking still took 20 min

6/5/23 4:13pm

Yup, 1 mile. I’ve tracked it via my watch.

However I'm not defending my home turf in DIA. Security is a mess in the middle

6/5/23 4:16pm

West coast bias. DIA isn't even close to the worst. Philly, Newark, LGA are all easily much worse

Indy Coug

LGA is good, it isnt anywhere near LAX

karatekid

6/5/23 4:06pm

I think LGA is better now than it used to be. The rental cars are still way too far away.

Philly - by a long, long ways

Never heard it called DIA. DEN right?

I ONLY hear it called DIA in Colorado (Denver International Airport).

Interesting. I looked it up. Technically it’s the Doha quitar airport. I guess

I think it was DIA at some point but changed. But yeah, to me, who grew up here, I still use DIA. Anyway, it's also

The whole airport is being remodeled - the completed portions look really nice.

Ever been to JFK in NY? That has my vote for the worst.

SoValleyCOUG

6/5/23 4:25pm

As a CO resident, I agree. It was also the 3rd busiest airport in the world '23

RUNBYU1

It is bad but LAX is it’s own brand of terrible

LAX is awful
